Abstract: Patients with relapsed/refractory nonHodgkin's lymphoma (R/R NHL) have poor overall prognosis. More and more new drugs and targeted drugs are applied to improve the survival of R/R NHL. Lenalidomide has been used in various subtypes of NHL to improve the therapeutic effect,  especially in Bcell lymphoma,  due to its immunomodulatory effects,  inhibition of angiogenesis and direct antitumor activity. Based on the existing evidence,  this review summarizes the application of lenalidomide to R/R NHL.
